Re: st: ordered tabulation with only top values shown

You have to be creative to get it into ascending order:
*****
sysuse auto, clear
*descend
ta rep78, sort
*ascend
contract rep
l
*****
I do think that the rest of your post is a little opaque. You can add the -if- qualifier to the -tab- to get a subset of the values, but I have a hunch you are really aiming at something else?
